They are probably blown. Get some new speakers, and some bass blockers. Let the bass come from a subwoofer. Too much bass will blow a regular speaker.

bass blocker? Is that a cross-over?

If everything was working until you swapped head units then i'd guess it was your wiring

Might be a grounding problem. My Girlfriend's dad does Audio/video for arena's, that's what he said it may be.

ground or bad RCA, plug?


bass blockers are small caps that can go inline to the speaker to take out the lower frequencies.

The positive and negative of the speaker wires are touching somewhere.

Did the problem start after replacing the head unit?

Definetly wires touching somewhere, check your wiring behind your head unit.
